Note: Several Canadian political figures have a Mennonite background. This might be more common in Canada than in most nations. This is most true in the case of Manitoba and so politicians from other provinces will be designated as such. Hence the explanation for this slightly unusual subdivision. As this more concerns "connected to" some of the names listed here repududiated their Mennonite upbringing, sometimes harshly so.
